IMMOS - Integrated Method for the
Model-based Development of Automotive Control Units

The IMMOS research project aims to devise an integrated method for the model-based development of embedded control units. The method will integrate existing model-based techniques, in particular model-based requirements engineering, model-based code generation and model-based testing, to form a single coherent development method. The project focuses on the automotive area, i.e. on the software development for automotive control units. Accordingly, the appropriateness of the approach to be developed will be demonstrated by means of an industrial-scale case study involving an automotive function.

The project is funded by the German Ministry for Research and Education (BMBF) as part of the "IT-Forschung 2006" programme. It began in 2004 and will finish in the middle of 2006.
